First Statesboro

More than 1,500 people filled the worship center of First Baptist Statesboro Nov. 6 for the church’s dedication service, where Georgia Baptist Convention President John Waters serves as pastor.

STATESBORO — First Baptist Church of Statesboro, constituted on Sept. 3, 1882, continues to be a dynamic church after 129 years of ministry in Bulloch County. In fact, under the leadership of Pastor John Waters the church recently moved into a sparkling new $11 million worship center. The dedication service for the new building was on Sunday, Nov. 6.

Waters commented, “More than a construction project, this season in the life of our church has been a spiritual journey. We have learned so much about the Lord and about one another. God has blessed our multi-faceted congregation with a sense of unity throughout this process, as members showed humility and deference for one another in respectful and honest ways.”
